Chapter 213: Revise the Law and Open a Shop

After the rain ended, Xu Dao returned to Jiangzhou City with Su Jiu and Taoist Chen Wan.

In the following half a month of hard work, he successively took on many tasks of praying for rain, not only for the many Taoist skills he earned in the demon hall, but also for swallowing a lot of food. Spiritual materials and spells used to arrange the Rain Array.

As for the external account, in order to hide his strength, he said the "rainfall" method he had thought of before.

He said that every time he rains, he actually fills the river with a magic storage vessel in advance, and then runs to the riverside a few times when ordinary people are not paying attention. The spell of turning rain only plays a supporting role for him.

In this way, others will only envy him for having two powerful magic weapons, and seldom doubt that he is a Taoist priest who can call wind and rain.

Even if some people suspect that Xu Dao's own immortal cultivation is also in the late stage of Qi refining, he is a rare strong man in Jiangzhou City, and not many people dare to talk about it.

Because the courageous Taoists who coveted the magic weapon in Xu Dao's hand all disappeared in front of people without making a sound.

In this way, Xu Dao, who was originally extremely poor, did several missions in Jiangzhou City, and received generous and selfless "donations" from several Taoists, and his wealth became rich again.

In less than a month, he had exchanged all the 28 pure and calm spells in the Demon Swinging Hall into his hands, and prepared the spiritual materials and talisman money needed to practice the spells.

this day.

Xu Daoduan sat in a rented house in Jiangzhou City, with a few taels of silver per month. The house was facing a lake, and the building had three floors. He stayed on the attic on the third floor. The array is where it retreats.

The attic is bright, and the windows are still open, allowing people to see the lake outside from the building, but people outside the building cannot see the scene inside the building.

Xu Daofan looked at the cheat books placed in front of him, and beside his hand was a stack of corresponding teaching spells, which were drawn by the person who planted the rune seeds, allowing him to Can also comprehend visualization graphics.

The batch of cleansing spells in front of him was not exchanged by him at once, but in batches, and a small part of them had been completely mastered by him, and the talismans were planted in the soul, blessing the altar.

In addition, recently, Xu Dao has done a lot of work for ordinary people, which can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. His heart is also much more stable, and even his temperament has faintly changed. He is no longer the cold and indifferent appearance before.

It's just that with the continuous progress of the hundred-day foundation building, basically every other day, the dragon blood in his body will become more active and violent, and it will continue to affect him.

In order to avoid any troubles in the future, Xu Dao exchanged all the spells of peace of mind and calmness, and prepared to plant them all in his soul.

Flipping through silently, various words such as Xinzhai, Zuowang, Guixi, etc. entered Xu Dao's mind, which made him a little overwhelmed.

After a quarter of an hour or two, Xu Daowei closed his eyes and had a general understanding of the 28 spells on the table.

"Eight spells have been completed, and there are still twenty left. Try to complete all of them within three days."

Having made a decision in his heart, he immediately collected his thoughts, let go of distracting thoughts, and began to transcribe the content of each spell on the Wu Wu Zi talisman.

Silently, Xu Dao was familiar with the whole process, and only when he roughly memorized the visual patterns or runes of the spell would he delay his work.

But even so, he practiced a spell to the level of great success, and planted the talisman, it was still as simple as eating and drinking, and more than three meals a day.

Instead, it progressed at a frightening speed of six or seven gates a day.

If he hadn't worried that the speed was too fast, his soul would not be able to adapt, so he set aside four hours a day for rest like a mortal, otherwise the speed could be increased a lot.

On the fourth day, it will be dawn.

The top of the attic is as cool as autumn, a copper brazier is placed beside the press, and there is a lot of dust inside, half a foot thick.

Xu Dao didn't rest last night, and within the estimated three days, he also practiced the No. 20 eight spells of calming the mind and calming the mind to the level of Dacheng.

At this moment, there are more than 30 pure heart talismans in his mind, which are embedded in his altar like stars, spreading starlight and illuminating the altar.

Inhaling and exhaling, Xu Dao felt that his mind was extremely stable, his body was healthy, and he was in exceptionally good condition.

He sank his mind into the physical body, feeling the majestic and violent blood rushing from his body, the spiritual platform was still quiet, and was not affected in the slightest.

Faintly, Xu Dao realized that with his current strength of will, after a hundred days of foundation building, he should still be able to suppress the greed and violence in his body and maintain a state of tranquility.

He can even forcefully press the physical body to suppress and shield all kinds of primitive desires in the physical body, to the point where he doesn't think about blood or thirst for spiritual juice.

But Xu Dao is not prepared to do this. The reason why his body is so thirsty for blood food is mainly because the body needs various accumulations for transformation.

In short, Xu Dao, who is still in the process of building a foundation in a hundred days, is like a rapidly growing half-child. Although he can go hungry once in a while, he must not be in a state of starvation for a long time, otherwise he will definitely die. Dysplasia.

If he waited until the Hundred Days of Foundation Establishment passed, the good opportunity would be missed, and it would be difficult to make up for it. At that time, the foundation of the physical body would be unstable, and some of them would be crying.

Thinking silently in his heart, Xu Daochang heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the gradually rising sun outside the window, stretched his waist, and felt unprecedentedly comfortable.

"Finally solved the worry of becoming a demon, the next thing to do is to constantly devour blood food and spiritual materials to promote the transformation of the physical body."

Xu Dao still doesn't know how much spiritual material and blood food he needs to complete the Hundred Days Foundation Establishment, but he has already made up his mind.

As long as you can't eat to death, then eat to death.

Of course, spiritual materials and blood food did not fall from the sky, and they had to be earned by themselves.Xu Dao had already figured out a good way to make money in advance, arranged it, and asked people to start preparing.

Thinking in his mind, he took a brass bell on the table and rang a few times.

Ding Ding Deng!
Not long after, there was the sound of climbing the stairs in the building, and there was a knock on the door outside the attic.

Xu Dao ordered casually: "The formation has been withdrawn, just come in."

"Yes, master." The wooden door of the attic opened, and Su Jiu walked in respectfully. She bowed and saluted Xu Dao, and then said:
"Master, Taoist Chen Wan came here yesterday, and said that with the master's certificate, the matter has been settled. He rented a facade in the No. 20 house in the North Street Ghost Market. After the corresponding procedures are completed, we will wait for the master. In the past, the plaque was unveiled and the business opened."

Hearing this, Xu Dao let out a soft sigh, "This guy is quite agile, and he will finish it in less than ten days."

Having solved a major hidden danger in his body, he was in a good mood, immediately became interested, got up from the futon, flicked his sleeves, and said:
"Let's go, let's take a look at our shop. If there is nothing wrong, this shop will be the next source of food and clothing for you and my master and servant."

Su Jiu turned sideways quickly, pointed to the door, and said: "Here, this servant will take the master there."

Soon, the master and servant walked straight all the way and entered the ghost market on North Street.

Because it was daytime, the ghost market was half-closed, only half of the stores were open at twelve hours a day, and the rest were closed for rest.

There are also few pedestrians in the city, scattered here and there, in stark contrast to the bustling and bustling secular scene outside the ghost city.

Xu Dao and Xu walked to a shop. There was a scent of wood near the shop. The plaque on the door was also covered by a red cloth. It was obviously a newly opened shop that hadn't opened yet.

The door of the shop was open, and there was a person walking inside, wearing a gray robe, chanting words, holding formulas in his hands, making the shop hot, watching him touch the tables, chairs and wooden cabinets, it should be in Dehumidify and repel insects to wood.

This person is Taoist Chen Wan.

As soon as Xu Dao walked in, the other party noticed it, and when he saw Xu Dao and Su Jiu, Chen Wan immediately cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Daoist Lu, and I have seen Daoist Su."

Although Su Jiu looked like a handmaid in front of Xu Dao, she was also a Taoist, and a Taoist in the middle stage of physical training, her strength was a level higher than Chen Wan's, so she could naturally bear the title of Daoist.

"Chen Daoyou." Hearing this, Xu Dao also nodded, showing a slight smile in response.

Taoist Chen Wan extinguished the spell in his hand, he trotted over and said: "Fortunately, Xiaodao has almost decorated the shop, just wait for the array to be arranged, the goods are prepared, and the Taoist priest can open the shop on an auspicious day and time." gone."

Listening to the introduction from the other party, Xu Dao took Su Jiu to wander around in the new shop. He was extremely satisfied, and he praised:
"It's really hard for you Daoist Chen to set up this shop in such a short period of time."

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Pindao will leave the customs today, so he chooses to open today." As he spoke, Xu Dao signaled the two to walk outside the shop.

The three of them stood under the shop and looked up at the red cloth on the plaque. Xu Dao stretched out his hand to grab it, and the red cloth was untied, revealing several gilt characters underneath:
"There is a talisman shop".

When Xu Dao buys property, he naturally has to choose a job that he is good at.

He held the uncharacterized talisman, and practiced all kinds of spells with ease. After planting the talisman seeds, he was even better at drawing the corresponding talismans, with a very high success rate.

With this kind of skill in hand, Xu Dao's first choice is to draw and sell talismans if he wants to make money steadily.

Before that, he either had a low realm and was too clumsy to sell talismans at the street stalls, and he didn't dare to sell many kinds of talismans in large quantities; or he had enough money and food and didn't have enough time to practice, so he was too lazy to sell talismans. make money.

But now, he is strong on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is short of money, and it is not convenient to go out to fight and kill. It is most suitable to open a talisman shop to sell talismans.

At the same time, he is also planning to learn a lot of spells in Jiangcheng. Taking this opportunity, he can also practice more spells and strengthen his understanding.

Xu Dao looked at the "Youjian Talisman Store" with satisfaction. This store has a large facade, and it can carry out other businesses in the future.

There is even a courtyard inside, where he can live in after a rest, and it will be convenient for him to protect his own property in the future, so as not to be disturbed by unsightly people.

This talisman shop is Xu Dao's first property, although he bought it hastily, he is pleasing to the eye.

On the other hand, Daoist Chen Wan stared at the name of the shop, and said in his heart: "The other houses are Xuanbao Pavilion and Qixingzhai, but the name of our shop is too vulgar and concise."

It's just that he didn't want to say anything more. First, he didn't dare to, and second, he found someone to make the plaque himself, and then hung it up.

But the next moment, the muttering in Taoist Chen Wan's heart disappeared in an instant.

Because after Xu Dao finished looking at the store with satisfaction, he said in his mouth: "At night, please invite some tricksters to play and have fun... So, from now on, I will continue to work hard, and I will thank the shopkeeper?"

"Huh?" When Chen Wan heard it, he immediately pricked up his ears, and his eyes widened, suspecting that he had misheard, or maybe Dao was joking with him.

Who knew that Xu Dao bowed to him solemnly, and said in his mouth: "I wonder if Chen Daoyou would like to take over the position of shopkeeper of this store and handle some chores for Pingdao?"

In an instant, Chen Wan's eyes lit up, his face was overjoyed, and the exhaustion from running around for several days disappeared completely.

Chen Wan swallowed, and subconsciously wanted to politely evade, but he didn't dare, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Master...Master!" Hitting the snake with the stick, he even called out to Master directly.

Chen Wan was very excited.

He originally thought that he was just running errands, at most asking for some rewards, and even if Xu Dao didn't give him rewards, he didn't dare to say anything.

But he never expected that Xu Dao invited him to be the shopkeeper as soon as the shop was finished.

Such a big shop occupies a good position in the ghost market, and the owner is still in the late stage of Qi refining, and someone is guarding him, so there must be a lot of money.

"Master Dao, I'm lucky, I'm hugging my thigh!" Daoist Chen Wan thought in his mind.

But what surprised him even more was that Xu Dao told him and Su Jiu:
"From now on, shopkeeper Chen will be responsible for contacting customers, opening up sales, selling charms, etc. The more you sell, the more you will earn, and you will enjoy half of the dry shares every month."

"Jiu'er, from now on, you will hire a few clever Taoist boys, both men and women, who will be responsible for sweeping and welcoming guests, purchasing spiritual materials, talisman papers, etc., and also enjoy half of the shares."

Hearing this, Su Jiu's eyes were filled with astonishment, and a look of surprise appeared on her small face.

Taoist Chen Wan's heart was pounding with joy, his yang energy seemed to have returned, he was ten years younger, and he wished to kowtow to Xu Dao a few times.

Pointing to the plaque on the talisman store, he jumped and shouted: "It's good for the master to get such a name. Our store will definitely be prosperous in the future and the business will be booming!"

Su Jiu also stood on the sidelines and yelled loudly, "Master, you are so talented!"

Xu Dao couldn't help but smile when he saw the two people flattering each other unabashedly.

He shook his sleeves, walked into the shop with his hands behind his back, and said:

"Open the store to welcome customers!"
